Discuss how we can hasten progress towards enlarging representation. There are two primary components to this: 1) educating others in order to gain the public support necessary; and, 2) ensuring implementation via a constitutional amendment.

During the hearings on the TARP Bill Congress was being contacted by a very high number of people who did not want to pass the bill.

Does anyone here know if there is a public record of contacts to Congress and what they said to their Representatives? It would be very interesting to provide the ratios as supporting evidence of the claim that the House generally ignores its constituents.

Paul, I like where you're going with that. Maybe some analyst has written an article on this subject.

I can only think of two sources of information. The first would be from those congressmen who voted against tarp as they probably kept track of the calls & letters in order to justify their position. (Those who voted for TARP spending would have records too, but won't release them.)
